GARLIC CREAM CHEESE CROSTINI

I MAKE CROSTINI ALL THE TIME FOR A SNACK OR FOR ENTERTAINING. THEY ARE EASY AND VERY QUICK TO PUT TOGETHER. I FOUND THIS RECIPE ON ONE OF THE SITES WHICH I BELONG TO. I HAVE ALSO SUBSTITUTED FRESH GARLIC AND ITALIAN DRY DRESSING FOR THE GARLIC/HERB CREAM CHEESE SPREAD. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD WITH WONDERFUL FLAVORS TO TEMP THE TASTE BUDS.
